I'll be honest. I used to treat them equally but they screwed me over too many times. When I worked in a store, they lied to me, stole from the store, took food off the shelves ate it in the store and littered the wrappers around the place without paying for any of it. The kids were loud and out of control. When I've encountered them elsewhere I've had cowboy builders screw me over with my driveway and then try to intimidate me when I left a bad review. I've had a kid try to rob me at knifepoint. They've dumped their crap on the streets. I've got them on camera stealing some parts from a bike in the local area. And theyve just generally been aggressive for no reason. Now that's not to say all have been that way. But I've only ever met a handful of people from that community that has ever earned my trust and respect. And I have met a hell of a lot of Irish travellers. As far as I'm concerned at this point, I look at all of them with severe distrust. I can't believe them. I know judging a book by its cover is wrong and I generally avoid doing it. But in this case lying, thievery and aggressive behaviour is their culture. I can't deal with them anymore.
Don't be like that, I'm sure it's just misfortune that you ran into a bad bunch, individuals shouldn't represent a whole community I mean they aren't a monolith
@@cavemancult1999 You say it's a few individuals, but it's a LOT of individuals. It's extremely rare for me to find an example of a good Irish travellers. I've been held up at knifepoint by gypsie kids twice. I worked in retail for 3 years and there was only one Irish traveller lady that came in that didn't screw us over. But even then when she brought her kids in, carnage would follow. Wrappers left around the store, trollies full of items left around the place, half eaten and unpaid for food thrown around, the lot. Every other gypsie that came in had either stolen something or tried to steal something. I've been held up at knifepoint by gypsy kids once and my assistant manager got stabbed when he was confronting a shoplifter. The day afterwards a bunch of Irish travellers came over to cause trouble for us because the dude that stabbed our assistant manager got hurt. We had to lock them out and wait for police to turn up. My Dad had some people do his driveway up. Didn't realise they were gypsies or he never would've let them. But it was too late to regret how much of a shoddy job they did, he left a bad review for them and they turned up later in the week and started removing all of the slabs they placed until he gave them a good review! It's not a few individuals. Its the lot of them. Everywhere they go it just ends up bad. You say not to let a few bad apples ruin the batch, but from what I've seen heard and experienced the whole batch is ruined. If you don't believe me then go and experience it yourself. I sincerely dare you to walk into an Irish traveller camp. I hope you don't get hurt, but some things need to be seen first hand.
There was a group of about 20 irish travellers that came to Australia in the last 2 years... The men went door to door ripping off old age pensioners saying they would do roofing or driveway work taking money and never doing the work, the women were going to beauty salons/hairdressers getting treatments then saying they had left their purse at home and never returning and going to restaurants and putting broken glass in food so they wouldnt have to pay and just making trouble. Total class act they are.
Trouble always follow them but hey discrimination when you point out the obvious.Funny how middle class lefty types wouldn't live near them but shout for their rights from a distance.
Replace the word 'traveler' with any other ethnic group and hear how gross and awful it sounds. You're speaking like some racist in America who says "Oh a black guy at my old job stole a woman's purse". Most scam call centers are run in India by Indian people. Should I then say 'Some group of people THEY are'? No, because it's gross to judge someone by their ethnicity. There but for the grace of God go any of us. Just be grateful that you have a life with more options and support, and try to show a little humility.
I’m so sorry to hear, im Irish and I see these pieces of filth hurting and damaging people and out communities. They aren’t good people trust me and I’m so sorry to hear, they need to be taken out of the country and sent back, we would take care of em
If traveller boys are committing suicide in high number maybe its time to change the culture and let the youngsters stay in school and get an education and prospects
When travalers stay on a permanent site, they are still treated the worst in Europe, the children go to school, But it's the prejudice they get from ordinary people, yet illegals can enter anywhere in Ireland or the uk rape woman and children, and they still get better treatment than the travalers ,
Maybe if there were supports for us travellers and we weren't discriminated against in the school curriculum more would stay in school and attend mental health services
They the police raided a group of travellers where I'm from not long ago. Confiscated 1/4 million euro of designer clothes and 300k in jewelry - all undeclared income. A lot of scammed grannies and traumatised shop workers in the wake of them acquiring that.
Research shows that stereotypes often pave way for intergroup hostility and toxic prejudices. “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. God bless
Don't work dont Pay tax steal washing off lines inn people's gardens,nick anything that isn't nailed down treat everywhere as if it's your personal toilet and rubbish tip then ask why people discriminate against you😅
My Grandma was an Irish Traveller. I can tell you absolutely that none of her descendants are in that community. We've become educated and worked hard. We do joke about our gypsy heritage but no way would any of us with respect want to actively be part of the modern Traveller community.
@pambromley7481 I'll, be honest, I've never heard a good story or had a good experience with any of this group, I agree racism and bigotry have no place in society, but there's no smoke without fire with this lot
Maybe if non-Gypsies stop bullying our kids in school we wouldn't have to remove them for their physical and mental safety. This is a tragic fact across all of Europe. We are not the problem, Lucy, we the product of society. The gate we face is greater than any ethnic group. Read the evil comments on here and ask yourself "Would they get away with calling all Muslims terrorist?" Never in a million years! Respect is not a one way street, all we have asked for is a level playing field, instead, we get the most vile, the most cruel, the most racist comments back imaginable. Then you all have the nerve to call yourselves " good citizens" and "Christian". Well, if being a good citizen means to have and be cruel, you can keep it. No wonder why many of us refuse to integrate, and rightly so.
Travellers get bullied at school this is why they leave, COUNTRY people do discriminat and bully and leaves travellers hate for the settled community children and their parents, just like me
Travellers has a very bad reputation in Denmark where i live, every year they are mentioned in the news about fraud cases (example: offering to make your driveway nice with asphalt, but making a scam) Police often warn about their scams. Also last year some travellers stayed at a camping lot, but was thrown out due to theft from other residents.
Am I the only one who finds it so weird that the woman in the video claimed irish travelling people are the ones who suffered the most throughout history??? What about Jews, black people, native Americans, etc.
@@daviepeterson5391 Maybe - but to be fair, I think what they are 'giving out' about is that they don't have access to those utilities, ie, the infrastructure isn't there. I mean, even the worst trailer parks, never mind tourist camp sites, will have water and power hook - ups and probably a place where you can buy bottle gas, or maybe paraffin. Certainly a shower/toilet block. Whereas a halting site will only have the most rudimentary provision, maybe a standpipe and one or two port - a - potties for maybe twenty or thirty caravans, and then people point their finger and crib that their kids are dirty. Even in the (Irish) countryside, there was a time when you could find a water pump or a standpipe in every lay~by and crossroads, but they have almost entirely fallen into disrepair or been torn out. I don't have rose tinted glasses about the Travellers - they (and I'm speaking generally here, of course) tend to be rowdy, and aggressive... When it comes to dress (the women in particular) and the decor of their homes, well, they simply don't 'do' _subtle..._ They are known for 'liking a drink' - and don't we all, but pubs dont find it necessary to refuse the rest of us service for fear of us recreating the bar - brawl scene in cliché Westerns... I would be _very_ hesitant to employ a Traveller to re~pave my drive... And for all their talk of prejudice and discrimination, they're not notable for their warm feelings towards immigrants, refugees, l8lacks, Asians, etc. (Don't even _ask_ about Gays!) But on the other hand it can't be too nice for a decent Traveller out getting 'the messages' (groceries - where they'll have probably been openly followed around by the security guard) needing a cup of coffee or a beer and a bit of a breather only to be confronted with a 'No Travellers' sign which were certainly still commonly seen in the UK when I lived there in the '90's and early Noughties. I have a feeling im going to catch it from both sides here! I am neither a 'Libtard', or as a Traveller might put it, a 'Poor Innocent', nor am I a bigot or a 'racist', but I call it as i see it, and unfortunately, as with most things, "It's complicated"! _Are_ Travellers discriminated against? If so, have they kinda "drawn it on themselves? Sorry, but a bit of a "Chicken or an Egg" situation */* would say...
They very proud people..I doubt very much they want it for FREE they just asking for a place to park that has utilities available to them, same as everyone else in the country... immigrants are better provided for then these people who are for the most part born and bred for hundreds of years in the uk.. it's easy to talk from your ignorant comfortable couch.. put yourself in someone else's shoes before passing judgement.
They are just like any minority group. Hungry for power, but demand it through welfare while complaining about discrimination for being a minority on welfare. If they choose this lifestyle by a cultural agreement, why should they get welfare? The Amish here in America are entirely self-sufficient and I have never met a single Amish family on welfare. They have known how to farm and live off the land for centuries. Why are they successful but these people are not? They blame outsiders while it's actually what they teach in their culture that is holding them back. The fact that the Amish have survived in America since coming over from Europe is proof enough the problem lies in the Traveler culture, much like the Romani people who refuse to go back to India where they their people are the majority and won't have any issues with practicing their culture.
I grew up with travellers who never worked an honest day in their life, like their parents. Now their children and grandchildren are at the same milking the system for everything. They all seem quite comfortable and affluent. Driving fine cars and Van's.l know others on social welfare who cant make ends meet from week to week. How can this be.
Television star who helped expose cheats and fraudsters for a popular BBC consumer show has been jailed for 12 weeks for dishonestly claiming more than £24,000 in benefits. Dan Penteado, who appeared in the show Rogue Traders. Get you own house order first 🤣
@@bitcoinwhisperer1754 well I have an idea. let's get house in order so. stop spending taxpayer money in so called social welfare (paying people for not working when every place looks for workers, stop supporting social housing, HAP and other crap) and spend them not on education but on penitentiary system- so prison will not be a university for criminals but proper facility that separate antisocial individuals, more Gardai so its easier to sack the bad ones... I would like to see how that will work out for certain minority groups and certain subcultures that are always so oppressed.
There are a number of issues that this documentary ignored , mainly it's the younger males in the community involved . Crime , specifically crime against the settled population , the settled population don't trust travelers and with very good reason , farms get robbed , dog theft is an everyday ocurance in Ireland ,it's not even safe to let your dog in the garden alone even for a few minutes, and it is mainly travelers taking people's pets . The roberys and ripping people off is now engrained in the traveler culture as normal . Other issues include animal cruelty for eg sulky racing horses down concrete roads which really hurts the horses legs and feet resulting in injurys horses left to live in quarys ( partly the government failing to take action ) where they regularly die of starvation , horses left to roam around housing estates in Dublin , left out in the heat with no water for hours on end IV seen and experianced these things first hand . Now whenever IV tried to discuss any issues of crime or animal welfare with the travelling community ,I immidiatly get called racist and they play the victim card . It would be a very different story for their community if they actually publicly acknowledged the serious problems that cause the breakdown in relations with the settled community's. IV never seen or known them to acknowledge any of it so I don't see how things would change if the community s won't see the problems and try to change . I do think it's been a huge disaster to try and force travelers to settle in one place , wrong on many levels ,things have just gone downhill from there . I do generally take people as I find them and I interact in respectfull way with all people , would I trust travelers ? The answer is no .I did that intialy, but ended up with financial loses as a result , it's safer not to engage with them in terms of getting to do jobs ect I wouldent take the chance of ending up out of pocket again. I would welcome more dialogue and engagement between the community's but only if all sides are willing to acknowledge their faults and the reasons why discrimination can be an issue.
Stereotyping absolute villains or absolute saviors is absurd! Stereotyping can be regarded as an act of assigning certain traits or qualities to a person on the sole basis of his/her group identity. Negative stereotyping is also known as prejudice which are formed opinions about a person that are not based on actual experience or reason and could lead to favoring one person or group against another. Research shows that stereotypes often pave way for intergroup hostility and toxic prejudices. “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. God bless
@@bitcoinwhisperer1754 my opinions are based on actual experiance , and it's not absalute I have met traveller women who are really nice kind people but majority of my experience has been bad , threatening behaviour , animal cruelty that they refuse to acknowledge , and losing money / ripped off . We have plenty of problems in our own community too particularly with animal cruelty but things are able to change as most of us not in denial that there are problems there I find with the traveling community if you confront them with a problem they just deny it and cause you of being racist .personally I'm not taking that rubbish sulky racing on roads hurts horses ,doesent make me racist to say that .
A twelve-year-old gypsy girl has been hailed a genius after she scored a whopping 162 in an IQ test - making her smarter than EINSTEIN. Nicole Barr achieved the maximum possible score for a youth giving her an IQ two points higher than scientists Albert Einstein and Professor Stephen Hawking. This puts Nicole, who is from the travelling community and lives in Harlow, Essex, in the top one percent of intelligent people in the world. Her dad James says her stunning achievement is ”the talk of the gypsy community”
I'm only a few minutes in on this video. So, the family is living illegally on land that isn't theirs for FREE, the council came and hooked up water access for them, dropped off porta-johns, the daughter is getting benefits AND the husband has no job? What? Okay guys, I'm shocked at the audacity of this woman to be COMPLAINING! I can't watch anymore.
In the UK, travellers shoplift, steal, rob, damage and park up on parks and private lands, causing damage and leaving piles of rubbish, human waste and such. No sympathy whatsoever
@@chloebradley-almond5911 I don’t , more shop lifters at work today , can you guess from which community they were?? The usual suspects! Can you shed sum light on why they are attracted to criminality?
@@chloebradley-almond5911 why do you never see them working in retail, hospitality, factories, warehouse’s, banks, doctors surgeries? There are people from all races represented in all sectors of the economy , just these people avoid any sort of work or interaction with others , and then claim discrimination!! Please explain why?
I don’t see them making any positive contributions towards society, they just take from society. It’s not a community anymore, it’s an excuse to be a nuisance. If this community wants respect they should earn it and show that they care about the environment where they live/visit, instead of leaving it full of trash for others to clean up after. I can’t respect this community due to the destruction and crimes that they cause while moving into any area that they feel like.
83 unemployment rate in this community tells me all I need to know. I came to Dublin from Croatia year ago with Highschool degree and 300 eur in my pocket, now I am renting house, paying bills, taxes, brought kids and wife, kids are going to school, wife works… So Irleand gives you all opportunities you need to make a honest living. You just have to choose…
you complain about them doing this or doing that, but aren't wondering why they have to. If I said those things about minority groups in the US I'd be put on a cross. People who have been historically discriminated and treated like absolute shit, as well as not getting any help to improve themselves and their quality of life, are of course going to be forced to steal and scam to get by. I don't think anyone would choose to do that instead of be able to live normally. When they aren't being taught anything even when they do go to school, how can you expect them to just up and get a job, get a houses, get more money? You're a racist fuck
very true and well done sir, to me they choose to live the way they do, stop moaning or change what you do and how and where you live, live was hard for me but i am ok now, because i educated myself and worked very hard, i also payed alot of tax
Yeah but what kind of culture did you grow up in? Did you go to school and were your parents unemployed or criminals? We’re your ancestors slaves in the past 200 years? The only way gypsies/travelers or even poor African Americans communities will change and develop is if people give the young children a chance to become educated and escape their old cultures. But if you discriminate and have hatred for them then you can’t expect the children to change for the better.
@@fromireland8663 oh wow a one time payment, cunts probably robbed the caravans too or at least intimidated the cunt they bought it off to sell it for half the asking price, I know these cunts very well
They seem similar to America's "white trash" who act like savages, want welfare, never want to work, cause lots of problems, and then cry about discrimination.
I have had to report many of these horses left in horrific conditions - no fodder, polluted water, left in muddy squalor. The last time, a horse rescue was called by the Gardai and the horses were removed. Covered in scabs and disease. Two were so sick they had to be euthanised. This is what happens to many traveller horses. You can bet the poor breeding dogs are neglected and the taxman doesn’t see a penny from all of these cash sales. Yet the rest of us are expected to pay for everything.
A customer of mine, who has a terminal illness was charged 4k for jet washing his path which he didn't ask to be cleaned, the 90yr old woman next door £900 and the old couple across the road £1500, nice people
@Gerard20j priceless no accounting for stupidity, you don't know any travellers or anything about them or ever experienced them, they would treat you like the idiot you are, you're obviously ignorant of their culture and behaviour otherwise you wouldn't make such nieve comments regarding them, hey maybe you should get to speak and explain to the 98% of them robbing stealing and intimidating people gives the 2% of descent travellers a bad name.
Hi Joseph I just noticed that you are a King. My grandfather moved to South Africa and the Kings are a very proud family who now live in Australia South Africa and UK.... I wanted if you knew where we come from how we got our name and where most of the kings of settled now in Ireland? I would be overjoyed if you did have any information. We have tried all the usual ways of tracing our ancestry but because of the South African government any and all paperwork that he might have had in his life has disappeared never to be found again.❤ All my aunts are Maureen, Patricia Ashley, Jean, and my cousins Colleen, etc. . I feel Ireland very strongly in my blood as do my children xxxx
I don't understand ,the Travelers are portrayed as living in poverty but that one man has 20 horses . Horses ,horse trailers and trucks to haul the are all expensive. Even on the cheap they are expensive. The narrator stated the horse was galloping, it was not those horses were pacing or racking. The story just doesn't go together well.
I lived next to a Travelers site near Slough and got to know them, they are a giant criminal gang and freely admit that anything " Gorger" that means not Traveller is there to be stolen.
I know quite a few travellers that are lovely and insightful people... Sadly I know more that consistently cause harm to people and/or their property. Unfortunately the resulting discrimination only helps to push more of the traveller community to the darker fringes of society. A truly awful cycle.

@@bitcoinwhisperer1754The prison In Castlerea, Co, Roscommon, Ireland, the prison population of travellers is over 50%, the population of travellers in the country is, better sit down, just 0•7%, kinda tells a story to me!

I have lived in Limerick over 50 yrs and I know from an early age we instinctively felt travellers were a lower class and that made me very angry about same and so right from day one I taught my children NEVER look down on anyone.In the 50 yrs I've lived in Southill I have had travellers integrated with other non travellers and I for one have found them to be very helpful to me as my marriage broke up early and so a lot of the time I had no man to do anything for me and travelling people who were now settled within the community were always there for me .
Exactly that happened to me in London l was a lone parent not by choice but l met English Traveller’s and they helped me out and looked out for me lm originally From Dublin
Well my experience has been very different to yours regarding travellers down through years and the trouble I have seen them cause! Also just look at the travellers prison population in Castlerea jail in Co, Roscommon, Irelamd, but in doing so consider this, in Ireland just 0•7% of the population are travellers, but in that prison over 50% of inmates are travellers, female travellers make up 22% of the total female prison in the whole of Ireland, if that doesn't tell a story or explain people's attitudes to them nothing will!

@@amransaddique7009 it's actually crazy people think automatically in Ireland having five kids must be criminal now yet all we had was massive family's a few decades back.

Why assimilate with a "system" that's actively trying to eradicate and/or assimilate you into a culture not your own.??

Majority of people see them as thieves targeting vulnerable and or elderly people. They leave a mess when leaving a camp. The perception could easily be changed by hiring a skip for rubbish when camping. Then undertaking honest decent work.
A program produced by individuals who never had the experience of hiring some "travelers" to repave a driveway to find they had merely painted it with creosote and then aggressively demanded full payment...it is a well-known fact of life in Ireland that you never do business with or allow a traveller onto your property....
Ray Coleman I'd a similar experience last summer. I don't know what I was thinking of by agreeing to hire three of them to clean the gutters of my three bedroomed, small bungalow because I never deal with Travellers either because of another bad experience with them years ago. They'd got hired that day by a couple of other neighbours and it never occured to me that anyone would do fake work, pretend work. One of the two sons of the family called to me while the others were power washing a nearby house and he seemed okay, I didn't realise at first that he was a Traveller. His father and brother arrived after that and it was obvious that they were Travellers. The father had powerwashed a square foot of my drive when I answered the door and a fleeting look of anger came on his face after I refused to hire them to powerwash the Drive and said that I only wanted the gutters cleaned. Eventually, he accepted that and agreed to clean only the gutters in exchange for50 Euro which his son, ( who'd called earlier had said they'd clean them for and said that they'd be hoovered clean). I thought that their Powerwasher must have some sort of vacuum in it and that it was a modern way of cleaning gutters. While they were blasting water at the front gutters I removed my garden shovel from the back wall of the house and put it against the fence. They'd backed their van in across the lawn without asking, an aggressive red haired brother of the first, knocked on the front door and rushed in past me in to the house uninvited while his father and brother were blasting water at the back gutters. He could have went round the side of the house like the rest of his family had done and it felt invasive and unsafe. They finished the back in five minutes like the front and then the father knocked at the back door and said that the drains were blocked and asked if I wanted them cleaned. I was puzzled and told them that the drain had just been working fine for the washing machine, he then said not that drain and I told him I only wanted the gutters done. A minute later, the red haired son knocked on the front door for the money, he again walked quickly in univited and followed me in to my bedroom when I was getting the money. I was deeply unhappy about this and managed to usher him out to the front door. Luckily just then one of my sons arrived back and I saw a look of dismay briefly cross the Travellers face as he went outside. He still demanded extra money though for a drain he insisted had been blocked and that they'd hoovered. Foolishly I gave him 20 Euro extra believing that he must have done this and that maybe people do this to maintain drains. 20 extra for doing nothing wasn't enough for them though, he stuck his foot in the door and aggresively demanded 40 more. He kept shouting that I owed them this money and trying to intimidate me. He looked at my nearby handbag containing my money and his body language showed that he was considering grabbing it and only barely managed not to. When his father came to the door I complained to him about his behaviour because I'd negotiated the agreed price with him, not with his aggressive son who was acting like a debt collector for a debt I didn't owe. He was unpleasant in his manner too but got his son away an drove off. After they'd gone I saw that they hadn't cleaned the gutters, which were still blocked and that they'd blasted vents out of the fascia and stolen my shovel. Dangerous people to deal with, never opening the door to them or any unsolicited callers again.
more fool you, everyone knows not to hire a traveller to do any type of groundwork’s. i bet they knocked on too, like all reputable builders do knocking door to door 😂
The older generation of travellers, nobody has a problem with them. The new younger generation really don't do themselves or their community any favours whatsoever though.
No, Gareth. You're wrong. If 99% of travellers give the rest of us a bad name, then how come the hundreds of Islamic terrorist attacks not given Muslims a bad name? What about knife crime in London mostly committed by black people, you haven't given them a bad name have you? When a bad thing is committed by any ethnic group, the common consensus is "everyone is not all alike" and "it's wrong to tarr everyone with the same brush" but you hypocritically single us out as %100 bad. You're an idiot Gareth.
@@chloebradley-almond5911 In the video you'll see a grieving mother (Mags Casey) whose son committed suicide. That's sad but he was a career criminal. Look up Terry Casey and you'll read about his life as a thug and that he was facing criminal proceedings for extortion. The other lad that was on a poster in the graveyard was Jake Casey, (nephew of Mags) also a career criminal, he and his gang were driving around the country robbing people in their homes. They're also closely related to another violent gang member from Limerick, John Dundon. Look up him and his brother Ger Dundon.

The only thing you need to know about gypsy travellers you can learn by seeing the state of their old squats after they move on. If you don't want to be a part of the system fine. But don't expect to be treated as functioning members of that system. Wokism is definitely hard at work here. They aren't being discriminated against, or victims of racism. Rather, they're being, in their own words, 'treated as rubbish'. If you don't like being treated as rubbish', clean up after yourself. It's hard to make the argument that some travelers are great people when the highly visible minority (if we're to believe that argument) are violent and dangerous. Change comes from within.
Nobody romanticizes Irish travelers LOL and are we supposed to feel sorry for them? Look how they act in Kent. They choose to live how they live, it’s their own fault not anyone else’s.
there was irish travellers that came up where i live and they came into my local pub, drank, then 4 of them left to go outside and pissed up the pub round the corner. my dad was walking into the bar and said " guys there is a toilet inside you know." They went up to my dad and just said whats your problem and went back into the pub. They are rude to the staff in there and everything. They dont have respect for anything and treat everything and everyone like shit.
@@Pancakebill2838 ik that but some the one i have came across are just disgusting. Not all travellers are like that. just havent met the right ones yet
They show their ignorance about horses by racing them on pavement. It destroys the hooves inside and out. The pavement is extremely slippery. A fall can be deadly for the horse.
I've met Irish travelers and gypsies here in America, and some were nice, while others were rude and VERY judgemental and thought they were better than everybody else. When they left, where they were staying was completely trashed. They left garbage everywhere, broke down vehicles. .
In the USA almost every single school shooting was done by white males. Maybe we should lock them up, just in case, if all people can be judged by few, as you suggest.
Yes. Yes and yes. Watching a brand new apt building abutting our property in America getting rapidly trashed by 2 families. They've only been in there a few months. They've no respect for the place. Lied to the landlords saying only 2 people moving in. Instead so many kids and ever-changing faces, vehicles. I feel for the few other appropriately behaving tenants. None of the kids go to school. Worst of all is the endangering and neglect of the younger children. On a main road, toddlers left outside 8n a parking lot alone
Well, I remember when they travelled and called to country people's homes and you'd give them something and they were called tinkers because they used to make things with old tin like buckets and that. And when they settled for unemployment benefits and settled in general I think they lost some form of spirit maybe I did too but little Ireland is an island, with somewhat stagnant mindsets due to our economy being paramount, controlled by multi national corporations, the tans leave and then we ally ourselves with someone else. They say the traveller peoples hit the roads when Cromwell came. I don't mean to romanticise the traveller way of life but there's so much more authenticity to it than being a slave to the government, with the boons that come with paying government's wages. When you have to stand up for who you are and your culture, if you get what I mean, then you can see their importance,just my opinion.
I still haven't meet a traveller person that doesn't want to Rob me and fight, if they treat me with respect I treat them the same if they treat me like shit discrimination it is
Or the rampant animal abuse? Or how they’re portrayed as “poor” but the guy at 6:00 somehow can afford to pay 1400 quid for a horse out of nowhere? Lol
We would not kneel down to the British bullying burned out of our homes took to the roads plagued by the British murders learned to fend for ourselves black listed by our own people no wonder we do not trust anyone we never asked for this but we are proud we stood alone like the way our lord jesus Mary Joseph were scourged and made to move to town to town sound familiar ❤
They are a race they are the oldest race or clan left in Ireland and there ethnicity is separated form the Irish settle people Irish treavllers are the indigenous people of ireland thats like a American who's ancestor's were dutch or English or even Irish 😂 being annoyed when people say your not the real indigenous Americans them dudes over there the natives they are it's insane 😂 truth is truth
@@user-kq9xwthey’re really not, maybe in dna results but on a surface level, which is where most racism comes from, there’s no way to tell them apart from us apart from how they act
I don’t believe for a minute these kids are made do the stuff they said 🤦🏼♀️🤪 if so why the F would you send them to school 🤦🏼♀️ because I know I wouldn’t send mine
They keep their kids out of school in America too. They only send them up to middle school. I asked them why do they do that and they told me because they didn’t want their kids to become like “gorgers” which is what they call anyone who is not a gypsy. Then they complain that they are so poor while going around and ripping old people off by offering to pave their driveways with asphalt and then taking the money and doing a horrible job at it or not coming back. That’s why they have such a bad reputation in America.
I worked at school where the student body mostly consisted of kids of Irish Travellers. School isn’t just regarded as important in their community. They value hard skills, such as house work or repairing a car, because at the end of the day, this is what they need within their community. And I can assure you that they have to help with the household and other tasks. I know it is hard to believe for us, because education is one of our biggest values. That being said, the majority of those kids were really polite and socially skilled. I’ve never met kids who were as attentive and helpful around the classroom.
Die überwältigende Einstellung der Traveller ist, daß sie besonders sind, und daß die normalen Regeln der Gesellschaft für sie nicht gelten. Obendrein sind sie überzeugt, daß die normale Gesellschaft ihnen ein bequemes Leben schuldet. Und da hilft man eben etwas nach....
I totally agree idiots believe this documentary to be true, they say what we want to hear, I know enough travellers, they would Rob eye out your head come back for eye lashes lol 😂. Won't judge but I speak truth, they are in a league their own. KEEP OUT I say well away from them ❤😂😂
This may sound ignorant but are they not able to buy a plot of land and move their caravans there? Or they choose not to in order to avoid paying taxes? Also if the case is they can’t afford land why do they buy porcelain plates and gold silverware?
Some do buy plots of land but it’s not easy to get planning permission in U.K. for a caravan or mobile home. Most just set up their homes without any permission and the local authorities spend a fortune over many years trying to evict them. They refuse to pay local taxes so don’t get any refuse collections … it just gets dumped anywhere… but not where they live. Their caravans are spotless!
I went to school with children from the traveling community. They came and went seasonally and unfortunately some had difficulties following the rules of the school, sitting still and listening. Obviously if they lack basic utilities, they also lacked “basic” hygiene and were bullied. Their was a lot of crime locally associated with the community too. Even at very young ages. It seemed like it was them against the system. A lot of the lack of integration comes from generations of oppression. It’s a vicious cycle.
AGAIN ITS ALL DOWN TO THE SYSTEM I WORKED WITH IRISH TRAVELLING COMMUNITY IN DUBLIN WHO HAVE GREAT SKILLS AND MAKING TRADITIONAL POTS N PANS AND USEFUL ITEMS IF THEY ONLY GOT THE CHANCE TO EDUCATE THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHO WERE IN FACT AROUND BEFORE US ALL IVE MET ALOT OF IRISH TRAVELLERS OVER MY TIME AND THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN EVERYONE THEY HUMANBEINGS AND DESERVE A GOOD LIFE LIKE ANYONE ELSE AGAIN SOCIETY IS MESSED UP AND THE GOVERNMENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO GIVE THESE CHILDREN A CHANCE OF A DECENT LIFE
I was part of a family that was called ' settled' traveller family in a small town in west cork- i was born in the council house. When i went to school i was called ''tinker'' I was a victim of discrimination I didn't have a social life as a teenager as i would get barred from pubs just because who i was NOT because of what I had done It was humiliating and degrading and left me with emotional scars. . There were some good decent people in the town to be fair but the damage was done. I'm 62 now and living in UK . I don't regard myself as a Traveller but I do think that the Traveller culture has to change. That vicious circle of uneducated children leaving school, early where the boys are taught to be hard men and box and the girls be stay at home mums. The culture of scamming seems to be inbuilt .The Travellers don't make it easy for themselves. But we can't tar every one of them with the same brush, because you would be taring innocent people like me .
I’m sorry to say man but travelers aren’t trusted because the majority of you guys aren’t trustworthy. If you give most travelers any kind of responsibility or respect they’ll take advantage of you
To Richard Dobi. When PEOPLE fail, that's when you have to ignore THEM. Because JESUS loves you, even if others DON'T! (That's what I told a homeless person)
Sounds like the unfortunate entire history of America. White Europeans caused suffrage and humiliation to ANY people that were not them. Sad We're all the same entity.
@@nygelmiller5293Way to do "something" while literally doing nothing. I am sure your empty platitudes were appreciated... This type of virtue signaling is extremely condescending and the opposite of helpful.
Live in an area where there are many travelers and they constantly cause trouble stealing from from the locals, leaving huge amounts of rubbish and often ripping off honest people who employ them while constant pleading their innocence. A friend with small children had his entire life destroyed when travelers stole his van and every one of his tools needed to earn a living. another friend who owns a funeral directors is owed thousands of pounds after organizing traveler funerals, they have the cash to pay but use every excuse you can imagine to avoid paying. If travelers want equality and respect then they have to give respect and honesty to the people they have contact with.
There's nothing wrong with valuing heritage and culture, but when these traditions prevent you from living a better life, it's time to adapt and change. Embracing your roots is important, but personal growth and improvement should not be hindered by outdated practices or beliefs. Recognizing when it's necessary to evolve can lead to a more fulfilling and prosperous life, allowing you to honor your past while building a better future.
sorry but no, this is so one-sided. Why didn’t they show all the crime? So very year a new group of these guys roll into my sleepy English village we see a huge spike in burglaries, car theft, criminal damage and assaults - not to mention all the scams they pull off on vulnerable old people (asphalting drives and totally destroying them) Give me a break
11:50 ….and tell me this, missus. Do the parents sit down with them every night and do their homework with them? Do the parents set an example by working/educating themselves? Exactly. The sooner they stop living in the Stone Age and learn how to integrate the better. No more travelling and living like homeless people anymore, settle down, get a job and contribute to society. 👌
A look through all the discriminatory or outright hateful comments under this video is probably a bigger clue as to what is pushing people to such desperation.
Show the field after they leave and the millions of pounds it costs a year cleaning up after them. Literally just advertised a community of people who don't work or pay tax and looking for sympathy.
It's not just any individual having one bad experience with them. It's every individual having nothing but bad experiences with them. Then finding out that EVERY person who had experiences with them had nothing but bad ones. 👎🏻
My question is, if you're a born and committed "traveller", how can you moan about not having facilities when this is the life of "freedom" you have chosen?
I'm sure you heard of the Amish people.. maybe I should start gathering as one huge family PUTTING your money together buying a huge piece of land, that you could put your caravans on.. do a garden have some animals share can have what you need but working together.. check out the way the Amish does it and they do it all over different counties and states
Back when I was a kid, in France, there was a field close to my place when more often thzn not, they would stop by (with no permission). Mist of them were driving Mercedes by the way...And when they would take of, they would leave human waste along the little trail that crossed that field, to the point where the field was completely barred at some point. No one did bot want them there, they just left the place in such a bad state that they had to be prohibited for coming back.
I don't get, how they can blame the non travelling majority for their troubles. If I didn't find an Appartment, pay my rent, get a job, I wouldn't have electricity, sanitary environment too, and my kids hat no school to go. There are jobs a man can do without any education, of course with small salary. If his young wife works too, they can handle their live and then get kids, instead of having kids at an age of twenty. At such a young age, nobody had any savings. It's okay, if they don't want to change their way of life, but then don't blame others.
Portland Oregon here, they would come to the restaurant and demand constant attention, steal everything, make a huge mess, be very rude, and never left a tip.
I also had gypsy customers at a restaurant I used to work at in Delaware. They were the worst customers we ever had! Bills over $100 and they’re leave a $0.70 tip and treat us like garbage! The owner told them to leave on day and never come back. Absolutely DISGUSTING how they treated us!
The town of Rathkeale has been bought almost completely by the wealthiest of travellers. Every house they bought has moved knocked and in its place are huge villas paid for by drug sales. The C.A.B. and armed guards are a common sight in the town. Weddings costing hundreds of thousands of Euros are common. They fit need any pity. One of them built a complete housing estate complete with street lighting and needed no band loan. Figure that out.
Shows the gentle nice side of the travellers . NOT the real side . The robbing , intimidation and violence that come with them . Just put “ Travellers” in to TH-cam and see what comes up
Probably a grant aided programme & any criticism "infringes" their rights! Teacher's don't invest in their children as they are constantly pulled out from school & wont be disciplined whatsoever!
In the US we don't give anyone a lifetime free ride, and the result is that everyone has to try to find a skill. After a while that skill turns into a better life. May not work everywhere but it works here. If a family wants to carry on the tradition of life outdoors and on the road, the family must figure out how this will pay for itself within the law, and if nobody's buying refurbished milk cans or buckets, time to figure out another gig. Freight trucking maybe, something that can support a family.
@LostEngland13-pi4yr. And maybe you can stop being a disappointment to your whole entire family not all of us are like that you racist give me a break with these racist cowards who say racist stuff behind a phone but most of the time would piss themselves if they actually seen a traveller in real life.
it revolves around crime because of the history of how they have been treated. We caused the issues. Maybe not your family, but sadly mine for sure caused a lot of issues against them.
@@smcwrabsolute bs, here in Ireland they’re the same ethnic group as us and the only thing that separates them from us is how they act and conduct themselves. They chose to act like scumbags and sadly if you give them any kind of trust or respect they’ll take advantage of you every time
I’m a makeup artist from the Irish/Scots travelling community. I wouldn’t say that we don’t value education - I came out of uni with a first class honours degree but it absolutely scared the bejesus out of me studying what I did. We have lots of war related PTSD in our family (fought Japanese and Nazis) and it really exacerbated that.
The young travellers boxing, just following the paths of their fathers and continue being thugs ripping people off and trashing land that doesn't belong to them.
People who make such negative comments concerning us Irish Travellers DON'T HAVE A CLUE! We are very very clean proud people. Not all of us lie, steal etc., that sort of thing happens within ALL communities and culture.
I don’t understand why they EXPECT, OTHER PEOPLE to PROVIDE them HOUSING, WATER, ELECTRIC? If they want it, then can’t they get these things the same way that everyone else must?
Geneticists estimate this Irish community split from their native Irish communities a little more than 360 years ago. This could have been spurred on by the social upheaval that occurred following the Irish Rebellion in the 1600s with the severe backlash from Oliver Cromwell. As an Irish person you could fight for your ownership of land, willfully sign an indentureship with hopes of gaining land in North America or just pack up and start moving about the countryside and live a nomadic/merchant life. These folks bowed out of wars and industrialism. They have a direct line with the first industrialists - the wheel, horse and metallurgy people and they chose to never leave this early lifestyle. They are a reminder of our ancient past. The problem is that the British Isles is too small for them and their culture is not as protected and honored as some of the new immigrants whose radically different culture is beyond reproach. The subject of immigrants assimilating into British culture is completely off the table. Yet these folks should "know better" and get their act together. This inconsistency might hint of a subconscious bias relating to epidermis. We can't ask the folks from tent cultures to catch up with Northern European Industrialism but we can ask the people of the horse and wheel.
I'm not from the UK and am just here learning about them, the awful comments about their perceived morality have instead left me impressed. The rest of the world sometimes forgets that Wales, Ireland, and Scotland were the first victims of the British empire and I love to see that there are people still resisting. Long live travellers.
Irish culture much more like the best of U.S. culture. So derful, hardworking folks with great values. They aren't fond of Travelers, in my experience.
Well put it this way the general irish population don't get married at 16 to their first cousin in an arranged marriage.They Don't practice bare knuckle boxing and challenge rival families to a fight,they don't burn the house down when a loved one dies and they don't spend 30 000 on a headstone.
They abuse those poor horses. I have worked since i was 13 years old im not 68 and still working. Most of these have never worked a day in their entire lives. Taxpayers money pays for their lifestyle- a continuous lifelong holiday. I have to work everyday of my life i have never received a handout from the state yet these able bodied freeloaders never work and our taxes pay for all of this including their ridiculously expensive weddings. Drinking, fighting and robbing.
Have look at the misery the Roma & Sinti in Ukraine,Romania ,Slovakia are living in and compare this to the living conditions of the Irish travellers . Nobody over here is being tied up to lamp posts and painted with unwashable paint ,nobody is getting spat into their faces .... but exactly that is happening in Zelinsky's Ukraine ! Discrimination by racists might happen in Ireland too...but in no way on a level as what Sinti & Roma experience in the countries 🇺🇦 etc. mentioned above . Bulgaria is very bad too , as is Poland and the Czech Republic . Ireland is gold in comparison to that . Nevermind there is always room to improve , but a lot has been done already . 🍀
sadly travelers can be their own worst enemies ,they do not respect their surroundings or that of others ,they leave rubbish and trash in their wake for others to clean up after them ,and then cannot understand why they are looked down upon,to make a fast buck and not give a decent service will always be a mans down fall ,,you reap what you sow in life ,,respect is earned and not a given right ,,,
I remember the Tinkers. Back in the 70s they lived in AirStream RVs. I visited Ireland many times & when driving around sightseeing, I would stop w my sons & talk to them. They were very friendly, their children were hauntingly thin with rotting teeth, but they lived “free”. Owning no property & paying no taxes, they stole hubcaps & there were mounds of hubcaps near their encampments. I never knew how they could afford such luxury RVs. Tinkers once had a trade of hammering out dents in aluminum pots & pans, decades ago…they were “tinkers”. Now, known as travelers. Still a sad lot. I’m not sure why they’re a “protected group”. They’ve made their choices & live a nomad life, stealing & living off the government.
We can’t get jobs because we’re minority. There’s so much stuff we have to go through because we’re minority. You’re too dumb to realise to understand you are insult to our whole country
Iv tried everything, Some of the older Travellers they live by a code & have self respect. I gave up with the younger travellers ripped off constantly, had my gear stollen multiple times, found them jobs only to get told “Jesus Pete don’t send anyone to me again” funny a older
I think it must be very beneficial for kids to grow up around horses; it gives them companionship, but also responsibility; they’ll grow up with great work ethic and respect for nature. The other aspects of traveling life seem very hard for a child, though. Travelers clearly have a beautiful and vibrant culture and a history that deserves to be preserved and remembered, but it seems like it’s about time to start adapting the old ways a bit to give the kids more options in life. Teachers are helpless to give the kids a proper education if they only show up for a week or two every other month; as a kid I struggled to remember what I learned in school over the weekend, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to remember the last lesson if I hadn’t been in school in weeks.
I have travellers living a half km down the road, and I see what they put up with and what they don't pay for. In one sense I'm sorry that so many of their free halting sites have been claimed over the past 20 years... , but the world has changed and isn't what it was 40 years ago - I hear that there are fewer places for travellers to go, but they get as much social welfare as the settled community and more, and they every opportunity for healthcare, education etc. If they don't want to settle, that's their look out.

I'll be honest. I used to treat them equally but they screwed me over too many times.
When I worked in a store, they lied to me, stole from the store, took food off the shelves ate it in the store and littered the wrappers around the place without paying for any of it. The kids were loud and out of control.
When I've encountered them elsewhere I've had cowboy builders screw me over with my driveway and then try to intimidate me when I left a bad review. I've had a kid try to rob me at knifepoint. They've dumped their crap on the streets. I've got them on camera stealing some parts from a bike in the local area. And theyve just generally been aggressive for no reason.
Now that's not to say all have been that way. But I've only ever met a handful of people from that community that has ever earned my trust and respect. And I have met a hell of a lot of Irish travellers.
As far as I'm concerned at this point, I look at all of them with severe distrust. I can't believe them. I know judging a book by its cover is wrong and I generally avoid doing it. But in this case lying, thievery and aggressive behaviour is their culture. I can't deal with them anymore.
Cool. I've been abused, sexually assaulted, insulted and belittled by men since I was very young. Should I see all men as bad?
Don't be like that, I'm sure it's just misfortune that you ran into a bad bunch, individuals shouldn't represent a whole community I mean they aren't a monolith
@@cavemancult1999 You say it's a few individuals, but it's a LOT of individuals. It's extremely rare for me to find an example of a good Irish travellers.
I've been held up at knifepoint by gypsie kids twice. I worked in retail for 3 years and there was only one Irish traveller lady that came in that didn't screw us over. But even then when she brought her kids in, carnage would follow. Wrappers left around the store, trollies full of items left around the place, half eaten and unpaid for food thrown around, the lot. Every other gypsie that came in had either stolen something or tried to steal something. I've been held up at knifepoint by gypsy kids once and my assistant manager got stabbed when he was confronting a shoplifter. The day afterwards a bunch of Irish travellers came over to cause trouble for us because the dude that stabbed our assistant manager got hurt. We had to lock them out and wait for police to turn up.
My Dad had some people do his driveway up. Didn't realise they were gypsies or he never would've let them. But it was too late to regret how much of a shoddy job they did, he left a bad review for them and they turned up later in the week and started removing all of the slabs they placed until he gave them a good review!
It's not a few individuals. Its the lot of them. Everywhere they go it just ends up bad. You say not to let a few bad apples ruin the batch, but from what I've seen heard and experienced the whole batch is ruined.
If you don't believe me then go and experience it yourself. I sincerely dare you to walk into an Irish traveller camp. I hope you don't get hurt, but some things need to be seen first hand.

There was a group of about 20 irish travellers that came to Australia in the last 2 years... The men went door to door ripping off old age pensioners saying they would do roofing or driveway work taking money and never doing the work, the women were going to beauty salons/hairdressers getting treatments then saying they had left their purse at home and never returning and going to restaurants and putting broken glass in food so they wouldnt have to pay and just making trouble. Total class act they are.
Trouble always follow them but hey discrimination when you point out the obvious.Funny how middle class lefty types wouldn't live near them but shout for their rights from a distance.
driveway hack job scam is also in Toronto. They will do a Sh*itty job in the middle of the night and leave the broken up ashpalt lol
Replace the word 'traveler' with any other ethnic group and hear how gross and awful it sounds. You're speaking like some racist in America who says "Oh a black guy at my old job stole a woman's purse".
Most scam call centers are run in India by Indian people. Should I then say 'Some group of people THEY are'? No, because it's gross to judge someone by their ethnicity.
There but for the grace of God go any of us. Just be grateful that you have a life with more options and support, and try to show a little humility.

You don't have a clue, children are evil at schools to traveller children
When travalers stay on a permanent site, they are still treated the worst in Europe, the children go to school,
But it's the prejudice they get from ordinary people, yet illegals can enter anywhere in Ireland or the uk rape woman and children, and they still get better treatment than the travalers ,
Maybe if there were supports for us travellers and we weren't discriminated against in the school curriculum more would stay in school and attend mental health services

They the police raided a group of travellers where I'm from not long ago. Confiscated 1/4 million euro of designer clothes and 300k in jewelry - all undeclared income. A lot of scammed grannies and traumatised shop workers in the wake of them acquiring that.
The travellers are not a homogenous group anymore than settled people.
Research shows that stereotypes often pave way for intergroup hostility and toxic prejudices. “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. God bless

@@daviepeterson5391 Maybe - but to be fair, I think what they are 'giving out' about is that they don't have access to those utilities, ie, the infrastructure isn't there. I mean, even the worst trailer parks, never mind tourist camp sites, will have water and power hook - ups and probably a place where you can buy bottle gas, or maybe paraffin. Certainly a shower/toilet block. Whereas a halting site will only have the most rudimentary provision, maybe a standpipe and one or two port - a - potties for maybe twenty or thirty caravans, and then people point their finger and crib that their kids are dirty. Even in the (Irish) countryside, there was a time when you could find a water pump or a standpipe in every lay~by and crossroads, but they have almost entirely fallen into disrepair or been torn out. I don't have rose tinted glasses about the Travellers - they (and I'm speaking generally here, of course) tend to be rowdy, and aggressive... When it comes to dress (the women in particular) and the decor of their homes, well, they simply don't 'do' _subtle..._ They are known for 'liking a drink' - and don't we all, but pubs dont find it necessary to refuse the rest of us service for fear of us recreating the bar - brawl scene in cliché Westerns... I would be _very_ hesitant to employ a Traveller to re~pave my drive... And for all their talk of prejudice and discrimination, they're not notable for their warm feelings towards immigrants, refugees, l8lacks, Asians, etc. (Don't even _ask_ about Gays!) But on the other hand it can't be too nice for a decent Traveller out getting 'the messages' (groceries - where they'll have probably been openly followed around by the security guard) needing a cup of coffee or a beer and a bit of a breather only to be confronted with a 'No Travellers' sign which were certainly still commonly seen in the UK when I lived there in the '90's and early Noughties. I have a feeling im going to catch it from both sides here! I am neither a 'Libtard', or as a Traveller might put it, a 'Poor Innocent', nor am I a bigot or a 'racist', but I call it as i see it, and unfortunately, as with most things, "It's complicated"!
_Are_ Travellers discriminated against? If so, have they kinda "drawn it on themselves? Sorry, but a bit of a "Chicken or an Egg" situation */* would say...
They very proud people..I doubt very much they want it for FREE they just asking for a place to park that has utilities available to them, same as everyone else in the country... immigrants are better provided for then these people who are for the most part born and bred for hundreds of years in the uk.. it's easy to talk from your ignorant comfortable couch.. put yourself in someone else's shoes before passing judgement.
Do they pay taxes?
They are just like any minority group. Hungry for power, but demand it through welfare while complaining about discrimination for being a minority on welfare. If they choose this lifestyle by a cultural agreement, why should they get welfare? The Amish here in America are entirely self-sufficient and I have never met a single Amish family on welfare. They have known how to farm and live off the land for centuries. Why are they successful but these people are not? They blame outsiders while it's actually what they teach in their culture that is holding them back. The fact that the Amish have survived in America since coming over from Europe is proof enough the problem lies in the Traveler culture, much like the Romani people who refuse to go back to India where they their people are the majority and won't have any issues with practicing their culture.
I grew up with travellers who never worked an honest day in their life, like their parents. Now their children and grandchildren are at the same milking the system for everything.
They all seem quite comfortable and affluent. Driving fine cars and Van's.l know others on social welfare who cant make ends meet from week to week. How can this be.
Because most of their income comes from drug dealing and other crimes , I know it dident used be that way decades ago but that's how it is now

@@bitcoinwhisperer1754 well I have an idea. let's get house in order so. stop spending taxpayer money in so called social welfare (paying people for not working when every place looks for workers, stop supporting social housing, HAP and other crap) and spend them not on education but on penitentiary system- so prison will not be a university for criminals but proper facility that separate antisocial individuals, more Gardai so its easier to sack the bad ones... I would like to see how that will work out for certain minority groups and certain subcultures that are always so oppressed.

There are a number of issues that this documentary ignored , mainly it's the younger males in the community involved . Crime , specifically crime against the settled population , the settled population don't trust travelers and with very good reason , farms get robbed , dog theft is an everyday ocurance in Ireland ,it's not even safe to let your dog in the garden alone even for a few minutes, and it is mainly travelers taking people's pets . The roberys and ripping people off is now engrained in the traveler culture as normal . Other issues include animal cruelty for eg sulky racing horses down concrete roads which really hurts the horses legs and feet resulting in injurys horses left to live in quarys ( partly the government failing to take action ) where they regularly die of starvation , horses left to roam around housing estates in Dublin , left out in the heat with no water for hours on end IV seen and experianced these things first hand . Now whenever IV tried to discuss any issues of crime or animal welfare with the travelling community ,I immidiatly get called racist and they play the victim card . It would be a very different story for their community if they actually publicly acknowledged the serious problems that cause the breakdown in relations with the settled community's. IV never seen or known them to acknowledge any of it so I don't see how things would change if the community s won't see the problems and try to change . I do think it's been a huge disaster to try and force travelers to settle in one place , wrong on many levels ,things have just gone downhill from there . I do generally take people as I find them and I interact in respectfull way with all people , would I trust travelers ? The answer is no .I did that intialy, but ended up with financial loses as a result , it's safer not to engage with them in terms of getting to do jobs ect I wouldent take the chance of ending up out of pocket again. I would welcome more dialogue and engagement between the community's but only if all sides are willing to acknowledge their faults and the reasons why discrimination can be an issue.
Stereotyping absolute villains or absolute saviors is absurd! Stereotyping can be regarded as an act of assigning certain traits or qualities to a person on the sole basis of his/her group identity. Negative stereotyping is also known as prejudice which are formed opinions about a person that are not based on actual experience or reason and could lead to favoring one person or group against another. Research shows that stereotypes often pave way for intergroup hostility and toxic prejudices. “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. God bless
@@bitcoinwhisperer1754 my opinions are based on actual experiance , and it's not absalute I have met traveller women who are really nice kind people but majority of my experience has been bad , threatening behaviour , animal cruelty that they refuse to acknowledge , and losing money / ripped off . We have plenty of problems in our own community too particularly with animal cruelty but things are able to change as most of us not in denial that there are problems there I find with the traveling community if you confront them with a problem they just deny it and cause you of being racist .personally I'm not taking that rubbish sulky racing on roads hurts horses ,doesent make me racist to say that .

you complain about them doing this or doing that, but aren't wondering why they have to. If I said those things about minority groups in the US I'd be put on a cross. People who have been historically discriminated and treated like absolute shit, as well as not getting any help to improve themselves and their quality of life, are of course going to be forced to steal and scam to get by. I don't think anyone would choose to do that instead of be able to live normally. When they aren't being taught anything even when they do go to school, how can you expect them to just up and get a job, get a houses, get more money? You're a racist fuck

Social welfare is part of their core income . Dodgy insurance claims are another earner.
Yeah but what kind of culture did you grow up in? Did you go to school and were your parents unemployed or criminals? We’re your ancestors slaves in the past 200 years? The only way gypsies/travelers or even poor African Americans communities will change and develop is if people give the young children a chance to become educated and escape their old cultures. But if you discriminate and have hatred for them then you can’t expect the children to change for the better.

I have had to report many of these horses left in horrific conditions - no fodder, polluted water, left in muddy squalor. The last time, a horse rescue was called by the Gardai and the horses were removed. Covered in scabs and disease. Two were so sick they had to be euthanised. This is what happens to many traveller horses.
You can bet the poor breeding dogs are neglected and the taxman doesn’t see a penny from all of these cash sales. Yet the rest of us are expected to pay for everything.

I don't understand ,the Travelers are portrayed as living in poverty but that one man has 20 horses . Horses ,horse trailers and trucks to haul the are all expensive. Even on the cheap they are expensive. The narrator stated the horse was galloping, it was not those horses were pacing or racking. The story just doesn't go together well.
I lived next to a Travelers site near Slough and got to know them, they are a giant criminal gang and freely admit that anything " Gorger" that means not Traveller is there to be stolen.

Oh wow.
I know quite a few travellers that are lovely and insightful people... Sadly I know more that consistently cause harm to people and/or their property. Unfortunately the resulting discrimination only helps to push more of the traveller community to the darker fringes of society. A truly awful cycle.

Also just look at the travellers prison population in Castlerea jail in Co, Roscommon, Irelamd, but in doing so consider this, in Ireland just 0•7% of the population are travellers, but in that prison over 50% of inmates are travellers, female travellers make up 22% of the total female prison in the whole of Ireland, if that doesn't tell a story or explain people's attitudes to them nothing will!

I'd a similar experience last summer.
I don't know what I was thinking of by agreeing to hire three of them to clean the gutters of my three bedroomed, small bungalow because I never deal with Travellers either because of another bad experience with them years ago.
They'd got hired that day by a couple of other neighbours and it never occured to me that anyone would do fake work, pretend work.
One of the two sons of the family called to me while the others were power washing a nearby house and he seemed okay, I didn't realise at first that he was a Traveller.
His father and brother arrived after that and it was obvious that they were Travellers.
The father had powerwashed a square foot of my drive when I answered the door and a fleeting look of anger came on his face after I refused to hire them to powerwash the Drive and said that I only wanted the gutters cleaned.
Eventually, he accepted that and agreed to clean only the gutters in exchange for50 Euro which his son, ( who'd called earlier had said they'd clean them for and said that they'd be hoovered clean).
I thought that their Powerwasher must have some sort of vacuum in it and that it was a modern way of cleaning gutters.
While they were blasting water at the front gutters I removed my garden shovel from the back wall of the house and put it against the fence.
They'd backed their van in across the lawn without asking, an aggressive red haired brother of the first, knocked on the front door and rushed in past me in to the house uninvited while his father and brother were blasting water at the back gutters.
He could have went round the side of the house like the rest of his family had done and it felt invasive and unsafe.
They finished the back in five minutes like the front and then the father knocked at the back door and said that the drains were blocked and asked if I wanted them cleaned.
I was puzzled and told them that the drain had just been working fine for the washing machine, he then said not that drain and I told him I only wanted the gutters done.
A minute later, the red haired son knocked on the front door for the money, he again walked quickly in univited and followed me in to my bedroom when I was getting the money.
I was deeply unhappy about this and managed to usher him out to the front door.
Luckily just then one of my sons arrived back and I saw a look of dismay briefly cross the Travellers face as he went outside.
He still demanded extra money though for a drain he insisted had been blocked and that they'd hoovered.
Foolishly I gave him 20 Euro extra believing that he must have done this and that maybe people do this to maintain drains.
20 extra for doing nothing wasn't enough for them though, he stuck his foot in the door and aggresively demanded 40 more.
He kept shouting that I owed them this money and trying to intimidate me.
He looked at my nearby handbag containing my money and his body language showed that he was considering grabbing it and only barely managed not to.
When his father came to the door I complained to him about his behaviour because I'd negotiated the agreed price with him, not with his aggressive son who was acting like a debt collector for a debt I didn't owe.
He was unpleasant in his manner too but got his son away an drove off.
After they'd gone I saw that they hadn't cleaned the gutters, which were still blocked and that they'd blasted vents out of the fascia and stolen my shovel.
Dangerous people to deal with, never opening the door to them or any unsolicited callers again.
more fool you, everyone knows not to hire a traveller to do any type of groundwork’s. i bet they knocked on too, like all reputable builders do knocking door to door 😂

Facts!
The only thing you need to know about gypsy travellers you can learn by seeing the state of their old squats after they move on. If you don't want to be a part of the system fine. But don't expect to be treated as functioning members of that system. Wokism is definitely hard at work here. They aren't being discriminated against, or victims of racism. Rather, they're being, in their own words, 'treated as rubbish'. If you don't like being treated as rubbish', clean up after yourself. It's hard to make the argument that some travelers are great people when the highly visible minority (if we're to believe that argument) are violent and dangerous. Change comes from within.
I hope the camera crew made a point to account for all their equipment before they left..

Well, I remember when they travelled and called to country people's homes and you'd give them something and they were called tinkers because they used to make things with old tin like buckets and that. And when they settled for unemployment benefits and settled in general I think they lost some form of spirit maybe I did too but little Ireland is an island, with somewhat stagnant mindsets due to our economy being paramount, controlled by multi national corporations, the tans leave and then we ally ourselves with someone else. They say the traveller peoples hit the roads when Cromwell came. I don't mean to romanticise the traveller way of life but there's so much more authenticity to it than being a slave to the government, with the boons that come with paying government's wages. When you have to stand up for who you are and your culture, if you get what I mean, then you can see their importance,just my opinion.

Why not try to keep your kids in school and not take them out at 11.
Keep your kids at school yourself gobshite. And dont forget to teach them Satanism and Technocracy.
Then they complain they can't get jobs
I don’t believe for a minute these kids are made do the stuff they said 🤦🏼♀️🤪 if so why the F would you send them to school 🤦🏼♀️ because I know I wouldn’t send mine
They keep their kids out of school in America too. They only send them up to middle school. I asked them why do they do that and they told me because they didn’t want their kids to become like “gorgers” which is what they call anyone who is not a gypsy. Then they complain that they are so poor while going around and ripping old people off by offering to pave their driveways with asphalt and then taking the money and doing a horrible job at it or not coming back. That’s why they have such a bad reputation in America.
I worked at school where the student body mostly consisted of kids of Irish Travellers. School isn’t just regarded as important in their community. They value hard skills, such as house work or repairing a car, because at the end of the day, this is what they need within their community. And I can assure you that they have to help with the household and other tasks. I know it is hard to believe for us, because education is one of our biggest values.
That being said, the majority of those kids were really polite and socially skilled. I’ve never met kids who were as attentive and helpful around the classroom.
Die überwältigende Einstellung der Traveller ist, daß sie besonders sind, und daß die normalen Regeln der Gesellschaft für sie nicht gelten.
Obendrein sind sie überzeugt, daß die normale Gesellschaft ihnen ein bequemes Leben schuldet.
Und da hilft man eben etwas nach....
Why doesn't that old woman get a hosepipe instead of carrying the water 💦

This documentary is so inaccurate it's criminal. Incredible that people will accept this as the entire story. Shame on you , documentary maker.
I totally agree idiots believe this documentary to be true, they say what we want to hear, I know enough travellers, they would Rob eye out your head come back for eye lashes lol 😂. Won't judge but I speak truth, they are in a league their own. KEEP OUT I say well away from them ❤😂😂
Sorry to say, none of these particular men seem like the kind of men you could marry, count on, or trust to raise decent sons.
This may sound ignorant but are they not able to buy a plot of land and move their caravans there? Or they choose not to in order to avoid paying taxes? Also if the case is they can’t afford land why do they buy porcelain plates and gold silverware?
Some do buy plots of land but it’s not easy to get planning permission in U.K. for a caravan or mobile home. Most just set up their homes without any permission and the local authorities spend a fortune over many years trying to evict them. They refuse to pay local taxes so don’t get any refuse collections … it just gets dumped anywhere… but not where they live. Their caravans are spotless!
I went to school with children from the traveling community.
They came and went seasonally and unfortunately some had difficulties following the rules of the school, sitting still and listening. Obviously if they lack basic utilities, they also lacked “basic” hygiene and were bullied. Their was a lot of crime locally associated with the community too.
Even at very young ages.
It seemed like it was them against the system. A lot of the lack of integration comes from generations of oppression.
It’s a vicious cycle.
Wish them all the best.
AGAIN ITS ALL DOWN TO THE SYSTEM I WORKED WITH IRISH TRAVELLING COMMUNITY IN DUBLIN WHO HAVE GREAT SKILLS AND MAKING TRADITIONAL POTS N PANS AND USEFUL ITEMS IF THEY ONLY GOT THE CHANCE TO EDUCATE THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WHO WERE IN FACT AROUND BEFORE US ALL IVE MET ALOT OF IRISH TRAVELLERS OVER MY TIME AND THERE IS GOOD AND BAD IN EVERYONE THEY HUMANBEINGS AND DESERVE A GOOD LIFE LIKE ANYONE ELSE
AGAIN SOCIETY IS MESSED UP AND THE GOVERNMENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE TO GIVE THESE CHILDREN A CHANCE OF A DECENT LIFE
@sandramurphy3442 They can get a decent chance at an education if the parents can simply had a permanent address and integrated into society
I was part of a family that was called ' settled' traveller family in a small town in west cork- i was born in the council house. When i went to school i was called ''tinker'' I was a victim of discrimination I didn't have a social life as a teenager as i would get barred from pubs just because who i was NOT because of what I had done It was humiliating and degrading and left me with emotional scars. . There were some good decent people in the town to be fair but the damage was done. I'm 62 now and living in UK . I don't regard myself as a Traveller but I do think that the Traveller culture has to change. That vicious circle of uneducated children leaving school, early where the boys are taught to be hard men and box and the girls be stay at home mums. The culture of scamming seems to be inbuilt .The Travellers don't make it easy for themselves. But we can't tar every one of them with the same brush, because you would be taring innocent people like me .
I’m sorry to say man but travelers aren’t trusted because the majority of you guys aren’t trustworthy. If you give most travelers any kind of responsibility or respect they’ll take advantage of you
To Richard Dobi. When PEOPLE fail, that's when you have to ignore THEM. Because JESUS loves you, even if others DON'T! (That's what I told a homeless person)
Sounds like the unfortunate entire history of America. White Europeans caused suffrage and humiliation to ANY people that were not them. Sad
We're all the same entity.
Thanks for your interesting and informative post, and greetings from Oregon, USA. Come on over, we don't even know what a Traveler is.😀
@@nygelmiller5293Way to do "something" while literally doing nothing. I am sure your empty platitudes were appreciated... This type of virtue signaling is extremely condescending and the opposite of helpful.
Live in an area where there are many travelers and they constantly cause trouble stealing from from the locals, leaving huge amounts of rubbish and often ripping off honest people who employ them while constant pleading their innocence. A friend with small children had his entire life destroyed when travelers stole his van and every one of his tools needed to earn a living. another friend who owns a funeral directors is owed thousands of pounds after organizing traveler funerals, they have the cash to pay but use every excuse you can imagine to avoid paying. If travelers want equality and respect then they have to give respect and honesty to the people they have contact with.
There's nothing wrong with valuing heritage and culture, but when these traditions prevent you from living a better life, it's time to adapt and change. Embracing your roots is important, but personal growth and improvement should not be hindered by outdated practices or beliefs. Recognizing when it's necessary to evolve can lead to a more fulfilling and prosperous life, allowing you to honor your past while building a better future.
sorry but no, this is so one-sided.
Why didn’t they show all the crime? So very year a new group of these guys roll into my sleepy English village we see a huge spike in burglaries, car theft, criminal damage and assaults - not to mention all the scams they pull off on vulnerable old people (asphalting drives and totally destroying them)
Give me a break
So a few people steal and you blame everyone?
11:50 ….and tell me this, missus. Do the parents sit down with them every night and do their homework with them? Do the parents set an example by working/educating themselves? Exactly. The sooner they stop living in the Stone Age and learn how to integrate the better. No more travelling and living like homeless people anymore, settle down, get a job and contribute to society. 👌
Your imagination 😂
The suicide rate is tragic. A move by the travellers to become more educated would be an advantage.
A look through all the discriminatory or outright hateful comments under this video is probably a bigger clue as to what is pushing people to such desperation.
Show the field after they leave and the millions of pounds it costs a year cleaning up after them. Literally just advertised a community of people who don't work or pay tax and looking for sympathy.
They are a bloody hell to have living next door to you. They have no sense of community spirit.
It's not just any individual having one bad experience with them. It's every individual having nothing but bad experiences with them. Then finding out that EVERY person who had experiences with them had nothing but bad ones. 👎🏻
My question is, if you're a born and committed "traveller", how can you moan about not having facilities when this is the life of "freedom" you have chosen?
I'm sure you heard of the Amish people.. maybe I should start gathering as one huge family PUTTING your money together buying a huge piece of land, that you could put your caravans on.. do a garden have some animals share can have what you need but working together.. check out the way the Amish does it and they do it all over different counties and states
Back when I was a kid, in France, there was a field close to my place when more often thzn not, they would stop by (with no permission). Mist of them were driving Mercedes by the way...And when they would take of, they would leave human waste along the little trail that crossed that field, to the point where the field was completely barred at some point.
No one did bot want them there, they just left the place in such a bad state that they had to be prohibited for coming back.
I don't get, how they can blame the non travelling majority for their troubles. If I didn't find an Appartment, pay my rent, get a job, I wouldn't have electricity, sanitary environment too, and my kids hat no school to go.
There are jobs a man can do without any education, of course with small salary. If his young wife works too, they can handle their live and then get kids, instead of having kids at an age of twenty. At such a young age, nobody had any savings.
It's okay, if they don't want to change their way of life, but then don't blame others.
Portland Oregon here, they would come to the restaurant and demand constant attention, steal everything, make a huge mess, be very rude, and never left a tip.
I also had gypsy customers at a restaurant I used to work at in Delaware. They were the worst customers we ever had! Bills over $100 and they’re leave a $0.70 tip and treat us like garbage! The owner told them to leave on day and never come back. Absolutely DISGUSTING how they treated us!
If their poor and discriminated against then they should get a job , start paying council tax and stop robbing from people and fly tipping.
Council tax why?

Someone needs to visit Rathkeale in southern Ireland and THEN discuss the Traveller issue....
Rathkeale Rovers. Enough said.
Don't forget Longford
Now there you'll see the wealth.
Not unlike Beverley hills.
The town of Rathkeale has been bought almost completely by the wealthiest of travellers. Every house they bought has moved knocked and in its place are huge villas paid for by drug sales. The C.A.B. and armed guards are a common sight in the town. Weddings costing hundreds of thousands of Euros are common. They fit need any pity. One of them built a complete housing estate complete with street lighting and needed no band loan. Figure that out.

In the US we don't give anyone a lifetime free ride, and the result is that everyone has to try to find a skill. After a while that skill turns into a better life. May not work everywhere but it works here. If a family wants to carry on the tradition of life outdoors and on the road, the family must figure out how this will pay for itself within the law, and if nobody's buying refurbished milk cans or buckets, time to figure out another gig. Freight trucking maybe, something that can support a family.
Give it a break. Maybe they should stop robbing, fly tipping and destroying communities

It's hard to feel sorry for a people who's whole existence revolves around crime.
it revolves around crime because of the history of how they have been treated. We caused the issues. Maybe not your family, but sadly mine for sure caused a lot of issues against them.

Geneticists estimate this Irish community split from their native Irish communities a little more than 360 years ago. This could have been spurred on by the social upheaval that occurred following the Irish Rebellion in the 1600s with the severe backlash from Oliver Cromwell. As an Irish person you could fight for your ownership of land, willfully sign an indentureship with hopes of gaining land in North America or just pack up and start moving about the countryside and live a nomadic/merchant life. These folks bowed out of wars and industrialism. They have a direct line with the first industrialists - the wheel, horse and metallurgy people and they chose to never leave this early lifestyle. They are a reminder of our ancient past. The problem is that the British Isles is too small for them and their culture is not as protected and honored as some of the new immigrants whose radically different culture is beyond reproach. The subject of immigrants assimilating into British culture is completely off the table. Yet these folks should "know better" and get their act together. This inconsistency might hint of a subconscious bias relating to epidermis. We can't ask the folks from tent cultures to catch up with Northern European Industrialism but we can ask the people of the horse and wheel.
I'm not from the UK and am just here learning about them, the awful comments about their perceived morality have instead left me impressed. The rest of the world sometimes forgets that Wales, Ireland, and Scotland were the first victims of the British empire and I love to see that there are people still resisting. Long live travellers.
@@pursuitofadequacy It's literally impossible to live nomadically anymore, even though it's almost anyone's birthright. : \
How do you know if the person is an Irish Traveller? They look like any other white Irish person, similar accent, speak English, etc.

You can definitely tell
@@eyeswideopen7777 sounds like someone can’t pay their rent
In London people call them chavs because they look exactly like them.
I still don't understand the difference between the general irish population and travelers? Other than lifestyle is there any distinction?
Other lifestyle, culture, travellers have their own language etc..
Irish culture much more like the best of U.S. culture. So derful, hardworking folks with great values. They aren't fond of Travelers, in my experience.
Well put it this way the general irish population don't get married at 16 to their first cousin in an arranged marriage.They Don't practice bare knuckle boxing and challenge rival families to a fight,they don't burn the house down when a loved one dies and they don't spend 30 000 on a headstone.
They abuse those poor horses. I have worked since i was 13 years old im not 68 and still working. Most of these have never worked a day in their entire lives. Taxpayers money pays for their lifestyle- a continuous lifelong holiday. I have to work everyday of my life i have never received a handout from the state yet these able bodied freeloaders never work and our taxes pay for all of this including their ridiculously expensive weddings. Drinking, fighting and robbing.
Have look at the misery the Roma & Sinti in Ukraine,Romania ,Slovakia are living in and compare this to the living conditions of the Irish travellers .
Nobody over here is being tied up to lamp posts and painted with unwashable paint ,nobody is getting spat into their faces .... but exactly that is happening in Zelinsky's Ukraine !
Discrimination by racists might happen in Ireland too...but in no way on a level as what Sinti & Roma experience in the countries 🇺🇦 etc. mentioned above . Bulgaria is very bad too , as is Poland and the Czech Republic . Ireland is gold in comparison to that . Nevermind there is always room to improve , but a lot has been done already . 🍀
Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil, to take part in wicked deeds with men who are evildoers.
Zelinsky is a nazi, west will learn soon
People don't discriminate unless something bad has happened.
These communities do not endear themselves to the rest of us
Has the woman going out to fill up here water bucket ever heard of a hose?
sadly travelers can be their own worst enemies ,they do not respect their surroundings or that of others ,they leave rubbish and trash in their wake for others to clean up after them ,and then cannot understand why they are looked down upon,to make a fast buck and not give a decent service will always be a mans down fall ,,you reap what you sow in life ,,respect is earned and not a given right ,,,
Absolutely spot on
I remember the Tinkers. Back in the 70s they lived in AirStream RVs. I visited Ireland many times & when driving around sightseeing, I would stop w my sons & talk to them. They were very friendly, their children were hauntingly thin with rotting teeth, but they lived “free”. Owning no property & paying no taxes, they stole hubcaps & there were mounds of hubcaps near their encampments. I never knew how they could afford such luxury RVs. Tinkers once had a trade of hammering out dents in aluminum pots & pans, decades ago…they were “tinkers”. Now, known as travelers. Still a sad lot. I’m not sure why they’re a “protected group”. They’ve made their choices & live a nomad life, stealing & living off the government.
If u want water and electricity pay for it u scrubbers
Why walk out 50 times A-day to get water when you can buy a hose?

The young couple need an education. It is not too late. Try!
Iv tried everything, Some of the older Travellers they live by a code & have self respect.
I gave up with the younger travellers ripped off constantly, had my gear stollen multiple times, found them jobs only to get told “Jesus Pete don’t send anyone to me again” funny a older
I think it must be very beneficial for kids to grow up around horses; it gives them companionship, but also responsibility; they’ll grow up with great work ethic and respect for nature. The other aspects of traveling life seem very hard for a child, though. Travelers clearly have a beautiful and vibrant culture and a history that deserves to be preserved and remembered, but it seems like it’s about time to start adapting the old ways a bit to give the kids more options in life.
Teachers are helpless to give the kids a proper education if they only show up for a week or two every other month; as a kid I struggled to remember what I learned in school over the weekend, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to remember the last lesson if I hadn’t been in school in weeks.
Horses are dicks as are most of the people who keep them. Horses are better in tesco value lasagne.
They have no respect for animals and people He said we shouldn't have to change H o about getting a job that would be a start
I have travellers living a half km down the road, and I see what they put up with and what they don't pay for. In one sense I'm sorry that so many of their free halting sites have been claimed over the past 20 years... , but the world has changed and isn't what it was 40 years ago - I hear that there are fewer places for travellers to go, but they get as much social welfare as the settled community and more, and they every opportunity for healthcare, education etc. If they don't want to settle, that's their look out.
If they didn't let their kids leave school at 11 and make them finish their education the kids would be more likely to get a job
Y'all must of left early too 😂😂
So you hate less fortunate people because their children have to work instead of going to school?
